Chapter 20: The Fall of the County
"How is that possible?"
When he received the news, Xia Yan's first reaction was that he couldn't believe his eyes. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Qinchuan County City, with a radius of more than 100 miles, and the city wall is as high as 100 meters, even if it is an innate martial artist, in the war, it is not so easy to climb such a city wall.
What's more, Qinchuan County is definitely a strong soldier.
That's not even counting the fact that King Qin Chuan has been digging a pit for the Immortal League.
Even if there is a so-called 'air force' in the Immortal League, Xia Yan knows that such an air force has almost zero combat effectiveness in the air.
In a large-scale clash of legions between the two sides, that advantage is negligible.
How could such a county town fall.
King Qinchuan and the Immortal Alliance have fought countless times, how can they be careless and underestimate the enemy.
In Xia Yan's view, this is a battle in which the two sides are evenly matched, and it is definitely not possible to do it in a short period of time to determine the winner and loser.
After all, neither the Immortal Alliance nor the Divine Dynasty are willing to consume too much.
With such concerns, shouldn't the two sides start with a trial, and then come up with all kinds of tactics and means, and then a decisive battle?
He had only been away for half a month, and the county town had fallen.
How fast this Nima is.
At least when he set off, the Immortal Alliance army had not yet been dispatched.
And now that the herald has delivered the news to himself, he should have chased his team all the way to catch up.
In other words, the capture of the county town by the Immortal Alliance may only be done in a short time.
Otherwise, in terms of time, it doesn't make sense at all.
But the Immortal League, when can you fight like this?
……
From the herald's hands, Xia Yan knew that the county town had fallen ten days ago.
That is, five days after he left, the army of the Immortal Alliance had already arrived, and it was perfectly staggered with his troops.
And the impregnable majestic city of the county city, in front of the army of the Immortal Alliance, did not hold out even for a day.
The King of Qinchuan had already led his troops and fled towards the interior of the Great Xia Divine Dynasty.
and ordered all the remnants of the remnants to assemble towards the border between Qinchuan County and Xiangshan County.
Although Xiangshan County borders Qinchuan County, this county does not suppress the role of Xianmen, and it is also a remote small county, which is far worse than the strength of Qinchuan County.
In fact, all the forces of Qinchuan County had been concentrated in the county seat before, and there were not many formed armies outside the city.
This order was specially issued to the Heavenly Sword Sect.
In the Great Xia world, the speed of news transmission is not fast, and if something big happens in one place, it can be transmitted hundreds of miles a day to the sky.
And the authenticity of the message conveyed in this way is really not high.
Maybe in the county town, just someone fell off the city wall and died, and when it spreads to remote areas, it will become, and it is not known that there is an army in the county town that fell off the city wall en masse.
Along the way, although Xia Yan did not speed up, the army itself was full of god-level powerhouses, and the speed of the journey was extremely slow, so he actually missed such news perfectly.
In addition, there are too many rumors circulating outside.
He didn't expect that such a big change had happened during the time he was on the road.
So, now the Heavenly Sword Sect, do you want to respond to the call and go to the King of Qinchuan to converge?
Compared with the loss of the county town, Xia Yan believed that the fall of the county town this time was intentional by the king of Qinchuan.
Obviously, the fall of the county town must be a thing that shakes the world.
Even, even the God Emperor of the Great Xia Divine Dynasty had to pay attention.
This matter has too much to stake.
This is a county town, although it is remote, but it is the bridgehead of the Divine Dynasty to suppress the Xianmen, and it is a veritable military town.
But such a city was actually captured?
Obviously, things are a big deal.
Originally, although the Divine Dynasty had a suppressive attitude towards the Immortal Gate, there may not be different voices within the Divine Dynasty.
After all, the change in the attitude of the Divine Dynasty has only gradually manifested itself in the past hundred years.
A hundred years seems like a long time. But it's definitely not too long for these big shots.
A hundred years may not be able to make those big people who are close to Xianmen change their attitudes.
Within the Divine Dynasty, there must still be people who are willing to speak for the Immortal Gate.
But now, the Xianmeng actually captured the county seat, what kind of trouble is this, and which big man dares to stand up and speak for the Xianmen?
It's like in ancient times, if you want to occupy a hill casually and be a grass king, although it will attract the encirclement and suppression of the official army, but if you want to say how much attention it has aroused, it may not be.
Even if you close the door and play the trick of being the emperor by yourself, those big people will laugh at it at most.
But you're going to take a city and then claim the throne!
That will definitely lead to endless encirclement and suppression by the officials and soldiers, and no one dares to oppose it.
This is the current situation of the Immortal League, in the past, occupying a few mountains, let alone making an Immortal Alliance, even if you make an Immortal Dynasty and call yourself the Immortal Emperor, the Great Xia Divine Dynasty may not have too fierce reactions.
It's just about the same nature as these grass kings.
But now he dares to build a county town, which will definitely touch the sensitive nerves of many people.
If this is a pit buried by King Qinchuan for Xianmen, it is really a super giant pit.
……
Xuanjian Venerable, until now, is still in a state of confusion.
As the leader of the Immortal Alliance's army, of course he knew what the goal was this time.
Before setting out on the expedition, several Immortal True Monarchs had already mentioned their orders and made them very clear.
This time, the army of the Immortal Alliance only needs to play majestic, and you don't have to worry about the results or anything.
As a high-level of the Heavenly Dao Sect, a peerless powerhouse at the pinnacle of the void, he is certainly not the kind of old antique who is dedicated to cultivation and does not care about the affairs of the red world.
Otherwise, he would not have been sent on such a mission.
Of course, he also knew how important this mission was to the Immortal Alliance.
If it weren't for the Immortal True Monarch's action, the impact would be too great, and it would not have been his turn to preside over this expedition at all.
After all, as long as a master of the level of the Immortal True Monarch has not yet made a move, there is a lot of room for relaxation.
After the Immortal League played a majestic role, it would naturally be able to negotiate with the Divine Dynasty and strive for the initiative.
War is not an end, but a means, and he has a very clear understanding of this.
Although this task is somewhat difficult in his opinion, it is not impossible.
At least, all the forces of the Immortal Alliance are very cooperative with him, the former commander-in-chief.
Moreover, it is only necessary to play majestic, and do not care about gains and losses, there are too many places that can be operated here.
For example, in war, attacking the enemy must be saved, this is a very common method, but the Immortal League has no place to save, because it is a shot and run.
But just when he was full of confidence, reality gave him a blow to the head.
It's not that the fight is not majestic enough, but it is too majestic.
King Qinchuan has always put on an attitude of concentrating his forces and fighting to the death with the Immortal Alliance.
But as soon as the battlefield was warmed up, he was ready to run away with a shot, but before he ran, the other party actually slipped away directly.
It's not an ordinary slip-away, but just abandoning the city.
At first, he thought it was an accident, but when he took over the county, he knew that the Xianmeng was really trapped.
The whole county town left nothing for him except the old, weak, sick and disabled.
Now, the Immortal League has not gained any benefits except for the reputation of winning the county town.
There are also the old, weak, sick and disabled in the city, which is simply a super burden.
Although these people can't consume much food, it depends on who will pay for it.
This is an expeditionary force in the Immortal League, and all the food has to be transported from the rear, can it be compared to a snake like King Qinchuan?
Moreover, what frightened him even more was that the consequences of such an incident as the county town were too serious.
